Not sure if I've posted in the right place but I'm driving myself to distraction (literally) and just wondered if anyone was in the same position and/or had any tips to help me...
Bit weird to explain but basically I go over conversations I've had again and again in my head. She said, I said... Or did I say that? How did I come across? Could I have said something else? I wish I'd said this etc etc.
Often conversations where it could be discussing a sensitive or controversial topic but sometimes just any mundane chat!
I know I over think things and really worry about what people think of me/ how I come across etc. so I know it's linked to that. I also have OCD so think it is this too - to the obsession coming in going over the same conversations again and again and again.
I think about the other people in the conversation and how they wouldn't be giving it a second thought or probably won't even remember it / care! And I wish I was like that!
I like to think I'm an intelligent, rational person so why do I do this?? It's starting to affect my confidence, I start doubting myself, and it makes me sad that I'm doing it to myself. Plus it's a complete waste of time and energy!!
How do I stop? Thank you.
